“We are thankful to the South Korean go­vernment for its commitment to resolve this matter and take back the misdeclared shipment. At the same time, it’s very urgent that we direct our Bureau of Customs and rela­ted agencies to file the appropriate charges against those responsible for bringing in fo­reign trash through an illegal mis declaration of cargo,” anang senador.

“As far as I’m aware, as of January 2018, the matter has yet to be resolved. The Canadian Prime Minister pro­mised to resolve the matter when he went here for the 31st ASEAN Summit in November 2017. There’s been no follow through ever since. We need immediate and concrete action on this,” dagdag nito.
